1 RAC Foundation for Motoring Local Authority Parking Finances in Scotland This note covers parking finances for the 32 local authorities in Scotland. Local authorities are required to submit details of their finances to the Scottish Government in a standard format. The figures are normally published in February/March, nearly a year after the financial year end. This report looks at the section on parking income and expenditure for The published data are less comprehensive than in England and do not split on- and off-street parking or show penalty income separately. However, a recent report by the Scottish Parliament Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee 1 published the number of Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) and penalty income issued in Scotland for the first time. This information is expected to be provided in the future. 1. Introduction Table 1 shows that as of March councils were operating Decriminalised Parking Enforcement (DPE) using local traffic wardens and civil enforcement, while six more were actively working towards DPE. The remaining ten authorities were not currently considering DPE but still use fixed penalty notices issued instead of fines and enforced by the Justice of the Peace courts. PCNs are for 40, 50 or 60. These amounts are discounted by 50% for payment within 14 days or increased by 50% if enforcement action is required. The average recovery per PCN issued is 32 (see appendix 2). Table 1: Parking arrangements for local authorities in Scotland Using DPE (start date) Considering using DPE Not using DPE Aberdeen City (2003) Aberdeenshire Clackmannanshire Argyll & Bute (2014) Angus Dumfries & Galloway Dundee City (2004) Falkirk Eilean Siar (Hebrides) East Ayrshire (2012) Midlothian Moray East Dunbartonshire (2014) North Lanarkshire North Ayrshire East Lothian (2017) Stirling Orkney Islands East Renfrewshire (2013) Edinburgh, City of (1998) Fife (2013) Glasgow City (1999) Highland (2016) Inverclyde (2014) Perth & Kinross (2002) Renfrewshire (2010) South Ayrshire (2012) South Lanarkshire (2005) Scottish Borders Shetland Islands West Dunbartonshire West Lothian 1 1
2 Police Scotland no longer enforces parking offences but now only deal with dangerous parking (e.g. on pedestrian crossings) by local arrangement. Several of the authorities not using DPE have rejected it because of the cost of setting it up and running it for the small number of parking offences. 2. Summary Table 2 below shows the summary accounts for local authorities in Scotland.

Income Total income in was 79.3m, 5% higher than (Table 5). Note that this includes meter and penalty income for on- and off-street parking, but does not include income received by private parking companies Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen accounted for 71% of local authority parking income (up from 70% in ). Although the cities only represent 24% of Scotland s population these proportions are likely a reflection of the volume of commuters and visitors the cities attract. Five councils did not show any income. Two authorities - East Lothian and North Lanarkshire show no income or expenditure. North Lanarkshire has parking enforcement but has delegated the financial management to South Lanarkshire. In 2013 North Lanarkshire estimated this would cost it around 25k per year. East Lothian is expected to move to DPE in

7 Overall expenditure remained flat with the three largest established parking authorities showing changes of -2 to +4%. Stirling, East Ayrshire and Renfrewshire reduced their expenditures by 20-30% while North Ayrshire s expenditure fell back to the level of earlier years after a spike in The table also shows the proportion of income taken up by expenditures. Across Scotland it was 49% having fallen from 52% last year, suggesting improved efficiency in operations. Edinburgh s expenditure is 30% of income compared with 33% last year. Most of the mid-sized councils spend 75-90% of their income on parking management including enforcement. 5. Surpluses Table 9 shows the parking surpluses for the past four years and the year-on-year change. Total parking surpluses amounted to 42.3m between 15 local authorities, of which Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen contributed 87%, the same percentage as (When it came to the net surplus for all councils, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen accounted for 91% of the Scottish total.) The increase in surpluses over was 11%. The total of parking deficits was 2.0m ( 2.1m in ) between 13 local authorities. Two councils broke even and two have no income or expenditure. Overall, parking contributed 40.3m to local authority finances in Scotland in compared with 36.3m in an increase of 12%. Edinburgh increased its income by 1.8m, decreased its expenditure by 0.2m and increased its surplus by 2.0m. Glasgow increased its income by 1.5m, increased its expenditure by 0.3m and increased its surplus by 1.2m. Edinburgh s surplus is the seventh largest in Great Britain and Glasgow is eleventh. Table 10 shows the contribution parking makes to total transport expenditure for the top four local authorities. For the rest the parking surpluses are so small than they make less than 5% contribution. Edinburgh s parking surplus of 19.4m provided 60% of Edinburgh s total transport expenditure while Glasgow s surplus covered 34% and Aberdeen s 41%. 7
